It is not renewable. There is a fixed amount of fuel on earth and it cannot be increased. Even when people talk of breeder reactors, they are only breeding fissile fuel from non-fissile material, which is itself non-renewable.

Solar energy fossil fuel water and nuclear?

Solar energy is a renewable energy source that harnesses sunlight to generate electricity. Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources derived from organic materials like coal, oil, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is produced through the process of nuclear fission, which releases energy from splitting atoms. Water is a renewable energy source that can be used to generate hydroelectric power through the flow of water.


Energy sources other than fossil fuel are called what kind of resources?

They are called renewables. (though strictly, nuclear power is not a fossil fuel and is not renewable).They are called alternative energy sources.


How does nuclear energy use differ from geothermal and solar energy use?

Nuclear energy uses fission reactions to generate heat for electricity production, while geothermal energy uses heat from the Earth's core and solar energy uses sunlight to directly generate electricity. Both geothermal and solar energy are considered renewable sources, whereas nuclear energy produces radioactive waste that requires careful disposal. Additionally, nuclear energy plants are more complex and costly to build compared to geothermal and solar energy systems.


What are some renewable and nonrenewable resources in Virginia?

Renewable resources in Virginia include solar, wind, and biomass energy. Nonrenewable resources include coal, natural gas, and uranium for nuclear energy.


What are facts about renewable and non renewable energy?

Renewable energy is less harmful to the environment compared to Non renewable energy.Some renewable energies include solar,Geothermal,wind,water and biomass,which can be made up of sewage.** Some non renewable energies are coal, natural gas,oil and nuclear.

Where does nuclear energy come from to make renewable energy work?

Nuclear energy is not considered a renewable energy source because it relies on the fission of uranium atoms, which is a finite resource. However, nuclear power plants can help support renewable energy sources by providing a baseload of constant power that can complement intermittent sources like wind and solar.


Is nuclear a renewable or nonrenewable energy?

Non renewable.


Why do you need to consider renewable source of energy in the future?

That follows directly from the definition of "renewable energy". A renewable energy is simply one that can be sustained in the long term.


What is the renewable energy source of nuclear?

Nuclear energy is not renewable. There is a fixed amount of potential fuel on the earth. Once it is used, there will be no more.


Is nuclear a kind of gas?

No, nuclear is a type of energy that is renewable.


Is nuclear energy renewable or non renewable?

Nuclear energy is classified as a nonrenewable energy source. This is because the nuclear fuel used in power plants (such as uranium or plutonium) is a finite resource that can eventually run out.


Is nuclear energy renuable?

No, nuclear energy is not renewable nor sustainable. For nuclear fission to work, it requires a special type (isotope) of uranium. There is a finite amount of uranium on the planet, therefore this is not renewable. Also, the nuclear waste produced is not sustainable. An example of renewable energy would be a wind turbine.


What is Alternative sources of energy is non renewable?

Nuclear energy


Is the energy source renewable?

Renewable energy sources are naturally replenished and can be sustained indefinitely, whereas non-renewable sources will eventually run out. Examples of renewable energy sources include solar, wind, and hydro power.


Nuclear energy renewable?

Yah it is; Yah, what is Yah?


How does the sun give renewable energy?

Nuclear Fusion


What are the different types of non-renewable energy?

- Fossil fuel energy sources (coal-natural gas - petroleum - wood) - Nuclear energy sources (fission - fusion). Nuclear energy may be considered as renewable energy source.
